"The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrières from Domaine Felettig is really lovely, as this very chalky climat has a great base of hard limestone that really delivers great bounce and breed. The excellent nose delivers scents of red plums, sappy cherries, cocoa, stony chalky, a touch of fresh thyme and a fine framing of vanillin oak. I did not ask, but I intuit that this wine was also raised in its customary fifty percent new wood, based on its closer structural similarity to the Combottes than the Feusselottes. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and sappy at the core, with suave tannins, fine focus and very good grip on the long, nascently complex finish. This will be lovely, but give it five or six years."
